Chapter 304: A Secret Society for the Study of Gods
"What did the medical society find?" said the crow, somewhat mysteriously.
Leo didn't understand the crow's words at all, and asked a little tongue-twisted, "What did you find?"
Raven also felt that he was saying too simply, so he carefully explained: "Two years ago, some powerful people within the medical school suddenly united to form a secret society, and divided most of the resources of the medical school, becoming a relatively independent research institution within the medical school. No one knows what this institution is researching, but it is known that the research funding of this institution accounts for more than eighty percent of the research funding of the entire medical school, and it was not until a while ago that I found out that they were studying gods. ”
"Research gods?" Leo didn't feel ridiculous about this, but said very seriously: "Since it is a research with an object, it means that they must have research materials on hand, where did they get the research materials, don't you tell me, the True Eye is their research materials." ”
"Of course it can't be, the True Eye is nothing more than an arrogant fool, he is not even a false god, how can he be a god. At the mention of the True Eye, the crow showed a deep look of disdain, as if there was some hidden secret, but it quickly hid its emotions and said, "This is what I want you to investigate. According to the information gathered by my men, the person who started this secret group was William Byron, the blood wizard Lawrence was his student, and he proposed the first blood therapy......"
"Hmm!" Leo suddenly interjected, "I seem to hear something!"
The crow nodded and said, "Indeed, as you think, Lawrence is just a scapegoat, and the person who really uses ordinary people to experiment with blood therapy is William Byron." ”
Leo asked, "Was this William Byron very powerful in medical school, and could be replaced by someone for such a big crime?"
Of course, it is very powerful, the founder of the medical school, Brydon, is surnamed Byron, and the Byron family is also the first family of the medical school, nearly half of the members of the medical school council are from Byron, and most of the other half are inextricably linked with the Byron family. ”
Raven explained, and then got back to business: "According to the information, before William Byron returned to the medical school and persuaded the medical school officials to establish a secret society, he once went deep into the wasteland and found something from the wasteland, and he also regained the trust of the medical school with what he found, and successfully established a secret society based on the study of gods, what I want to know is what he found in the wasteland?"
"What's in the wasteland?" asked Leo curiously.
"Everything. Raven explained, "No one knows how big the wasteland is, no one knows what the end of the wasteland is, and even the most powerful wizard has never stepped out of the wasteland. ”
"Are you kidding?" said Leo when he heard the crow's words.
"Of course I'm not kidding," the crow asked dissatisfiedly, "why do you think I'm joking?"
"This world is ......" Leo was about to use his knowledge of geography to refute the Raven's so-called Wasteland Boundlessness theory, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly realized that maybe he had been mistaken. Because he thought of something that he had noticed before, but never paid attention to, and that was that the horizon of this world was flat.
On the ship coming to the port of Venaya, Leo had looked through the window at the sea level, and what he saw was a flat line, and the ships that were moving in the distance appeared in the line of sight as a whole, from blurry to clear, but at that time he was thinking about other things, so he did not take this matter to heart.
Now when he was about to refute the crow's words, he suddenly remembered this matter, and according to the analysis of this situation, either the planet where this Velun World is located is beyond imagination, or the Velen World is a flat earth.
However, Leo now prefers that this world is a planet of incomparably large individual shapes, because only in this way can the claim that the wasteland is boundless be true, and only then will the basic common sense that the natural stars of the universe are all circulars not be broken.
"What is this world?" Seeing that Leo's words had just begun, he stopped abruptly, and the crow asked puzzled.
"Nothing. Leo replied vaguely, not dwelling on this issue any longer, but getting back to the point, "Is the secret society founded by William Byron now in the Kingdom of England?"
"No, I don't know where the headquarters of that secret society is," Raven shook his head and added, "However, I know that the True Eye was transported to the Kingdom of England, and they have a secret laboratory in the town of Yam in the Kingdom of England, which is the inherent territory of the British royal family, so that laboratory is likely to be supported by the British royal family." ”
"Is there a British royal family involved?" Leo frowned.
"You also know that although the national fortune and national situation of the Kingdom of England have been thriving over the years, the status of the Royal Family of England has become lower and lower, and it is almost like a mascot," the crow explained: "The vast majority of people in the royal family may be content with the status quo, but there are also many people who are unwilling to accept the current status of the royal family, but they can't find a way to seize power, so they can only resort to other methods, such as activating the divine bloodline in the body and becoming a sea god family." ”
Leo asked with interest, "Does the Inge royal family really have divine bloodline in its body?"
"Absolutely. The crow replied in the affirmative, "But it's already very thin, and it's only difficult to stimulate the bloodline through its own awakening." ”
Leo thought of some of the things he had learned in Miria City, and couldn't help but say, "I remember that the Fran Empire seems to be studying the gods with the medical school. ”
As if he had something to say, the crow said, "It's not surprising that the medical school is a world organization with people from any country, so it can work with any country. After saying that, it couldn't wait to ask, "You've asked so many questions, so shouldn't you tell me your decision now?" ”
Leo thought about it for a moment and nodded: "I can help you investigate this matter, but only if it does not affect my affairs, and I can't guarantee that there will be a result, so I can only try to investigate." ”
"Very well, that's enough! I'm sure you'll be able to investigate something useful. After receiving Leo's answer without any guarantees, the crow appeared more confident than Leo, and then said, "Now I will tell you your reward first, there is a tower in Berkshire, in the Kingdom of England......"
Leo was stunned when he heard this, then interrupted the crow and said, "You shouldn't be talking about the pirate Count Francis Drake's tower?"
"Huh, do you already know?" said the crow in surprise.
Leo explained, "I got a battle wizard's notebook from Sue Stewart of the Witch Order, and that note originated from Count Drake. ”
"I see. The crow showed a sudden expression, and then said with some annoyance: "Since you already know, then I have to change the reward now......
"There's no need, that's it!" Leo said to stop the crow from changing his mind, "I know that Francis Drake is a tower wizard, but I don't know where the tower is in Berkshire. ”
"That's right! Raven nodded, continued what he had just said, and said, "There is a village called Leeds on the border between Berkshire and Sarkshire, and there is a promontory cliff that sinks to the bottom of the sea, and the tower is there. ”
"In the sea?" Leo said, frowning.
"No, on the cliff. The crow explained, "It's just an illusion to sink to the bottom of the sea," and he paused, saying, "However, don't expect too much from that tower, because although Drake is a tower wizard, he is not an orthodox wizard, he just accidentally became a member of the tower wizard because of some things, and he has not gained any useful knowledge from the tower, let alone the knowledge of building the tower, so there is no protection for the tower he built, and it is unknown how much is left after so many years." ”
"It's okay!" As the psionic level increases, Leo needs to master more and more power and knowledge, which makes him pay a lot less attention to the tower, so it doesn't matter if he can get something out of Count Drake's tower.
After negotiating the matter, Raven told Leo a few ways to contact it, and once he got the news from Sarkshire, he could tell it through this channel, and this communication channel did not need to go through other departments of the Holy Blood Society, and he could contact it directly.
Seeing that the matter was over, the crow didn't stay long, and flew away directly, and Leo thought about how to investigate this matter while exercising his psionic control after the crow left.
Naturally, Leo didn't think of going directly to Sarkshire to investigate, this straightforward approach would only cause some unnecessary trouble, and might even alarm the English royal family.
Although the crow is dismissive of the current status of the English royal family, it is undeniable that the English royal family, as the symbol of the English Kingdom, still has a lot of power and influence, and once there is a conflict with the English royal family, he may be difficult to continue to stay in the English Kingdom, which is not the result he wants to see, or the result that his predecessor is willing to see.
Because of the influence of his predecessor, Leo always had a special affection for the Kingdom of England, hoping to settle down in the Kingdom of England, even if he often ran elsewhere, he would leave a fixed residence and a fixed home in the Kingdom of England, so this possibility of being expelled from the country was not in his consideration.
Leo thought that since he couldn't go directly to Sarkshire to investigate, he could only enter Sarkshire by other non-dangerous means, such as asking Sarkshire's medical school to take the initiative to invite him.
This idea is not Leo's delusion, and in his opinion it should have a good chance of being realized.
Because his friends Victor Matthew and Catherine Nightingale were both well-known members of the medical school, and their fame was able to exert some influence on some of the most powerful people in the medical school, and the wound suturing technique had already left some name in the medical school, all he had to do was to expand that fame, and expand it in the direction that the mysterious group that studied the gods wanted to see.
For example, the theory of blood grouping, this theory is a perfect fit for blood therapy, and I believe that as long as he publishes this theory, he will definitely attract the attention of William Byron, and then he will show some research on heterogeneous bloodlines, then it should not be difficult to be invited by medical school.
After figuring out what to do, Leo didn't continue to spend energy on this matter, but focused on how to use the ring in his hand to quickly improve control.
After spending the night safely, Leo left his hotel room and arrived at the pier according to the time on his ticket, where he found the boat he wanted to take.
The Queen Mary was a cruise ship of the Kingdom of England, belonging to the Platinum Chamber of Commerce, and like most of today's maritime vessels, this ship was a half-steam, half-sail ship converted from a three-masted galleon.
Because of Poseidon's Day, the city of Venaya has accumulated a large number of passengers who want to go to the Kingdom of England, and the Queen Mary is also full, and Leo can only share a cabin with three other people after boarding the ship. Luckily, the ship's owner had experience in dealing with such things, and had made a makeshift room by planks separating each person's bunk so that the passengers in the cabin would not have to face several strangers all day long.
When Leo entered the cabin, everyone in the same cabin as him stuck out their heads to look at Leo, and then, without saying hello, they retracted their heads and closed the simple wooden door.
The cold attitude of these people was exactly what Leo wanted, and after he entered his cabin, he also closed the door and sat quietly on the bed, continuing to improve his control in his own way.
After about an hour, all the passengers have boarded the ship, the goods have been carried up, with a whistle, the ship slowly sailed out of the port, after leaving the dock, into the deep water, the steam engine stopped, the sailors on board in the first mate shouted one after another, put down the sails, relying on the wind, slowly sailing on the sea.
"Damn profiteers!" At this moment, the passengers in the room next to Leo sensed that the ship had slowed down, and immediately cursed, pushed open the simple wooden door, and walked out of the barn quickly.
After a while, I heard him scolding and scolding, and cursed repeatedly: "These profiteers have gone too far, in order to make room for the cargo, not only the cabins of our passengers have been squeezed, but even the compartments of fuel have been occupied, so that now we have to be pushed by sails, are we on the old ship ten years ago?"
As the curse sounded, the other two passengers in the room seemed to resonate, and came out of the room one after another, joining in the cursing of the ship's owner and the Platinum Chamber of Commerce.
